Instrumentation support for Tennessee, Arkansas and North Mississippi
This territory sits at the center of the Southeast’s automotive corridor. It includes major vehicle assembly and battery plants in Middle and West Tennessee and Northeast Mississippi, plus hundreds of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers. Engineers here need leak and flow testing on the production line, data acquisition and load and torque sensors for durability and validation testing, and precision gauging for machined components.
The region also hosts nationally significant research and test facilities, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory in East Tennessee and the Arnold Engineering Development Complex near Tullahoma. Research universities across all three states add further demand. These organizations use noise and vibration analysis, high-channel-count data acquisition, shock and vibration test equipment, and specialized sensors built for extreme environments.
Heavy industry rounds out the territory. Power generation, paper and wood products, chemicals, food processing and metals plants rely on combustion control, gas detection and emissions monitoring to run efficiently and safely.
What engineers here ask us for
- Automotive OEMs and suppliers: leak testing, wheel and driveline torque sensing, vehicle data acquisition, and NVH analysis.
- Research labs and universities: portable and rack-mount data acquisition, shock and environmental data recorders, and LVDTs and load cells.
- Aerospace test: shock machines, fixtures and high-reliability temperature sensors.
- Process and utility plants: O2 and CO combustion optimization, gas detection, and mercury monitoring.
Working with Vaughn in this territory
Joshua Woods covers the territory with a mechanical engineering background in design and testing. Share your application and constraints, such as range, environment, channel count and standards. We will narrow the options, bring in factory experts when needed, and coordinate a quote directly from the manufacturer.
